Extractions: Wilfred Owen (1893-1918) Wilfred Edward Salter Owen was born on March 18, 1893. He was on the Continent teaching until he visited a hospital for the wounded and then decided, in September, 1915, to return to England and enlist. "I came out in order to help these boys directly by leading them as well as an officer can; indirectly, by watching their sufferings that I may speak of them as well as a pleader can. I have done the first" (October, 1918). Owen was injured in March 1917 and sent home; he was fit for duty in August, 1918, and returned to the front. November 4, just seven days before the Armistice, he was caught in a German machine gun attack and killed. He was twenty-five when he died. The bells were ringing on November 11, 1918, in Shrewsbury to celebrate the Armistice when the doorbell rang at his parent's home, bringing them the telegram telling them their son was dead. the poetry © Emory University

Extractions: SEARCH English poet, born at Oswestry, Shropshire. Educated at Birkenhead Institute and London University, he was for a time tutor to a French family near Bordeaux. In the First World War he enlisted in the Artist's Rifles, but was invalided home in 1917 and sent to Craiglockhart War Hospital, where Siegfried Sassoon, his fellow patient, encouraged him in writing verse. Sent back to France as a company commander, he won the MC, but was killed a week before the armistice in the crossing of the Sambre Canal. His Poems, 1920, edited by Sassoon, shatter the illusion of the glory of war, revealing its hollowness, wreckage, and the beauty it ruins. His verse is among the most moving of all First World War poetry. In technique his work is distinguished by the extensive use of assonance in place of rhyme, a feature in which Owen looked forward to the later school of Auden and Spender. Benjamin Britten used several of Owen's poems in his War Requiem, 1962.

http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/FWWowen.htm

Extractions: In 1914 the First World War broke out on a largely innocent world, a world that still associated warfare with glorious cavalry charges and the noble pursuit of heroic ideals. This was the world's first experience of modern mechanised warfare. As the months and years passed, each bringing increasing slaughter and misery, the soldiers became increasingly disillusioned. Many of the strongest protests made against the war were made through the medium of poetry by young men horrified by what they saw. One of these poets was Wilfred Owen. Wilfred Owen was 21 when the war broke out. Although he had failed to win a scholarship to university, he was very intelligent and cultured, and in the two years before the war began, had taken a post at the Berlitz School in Bordeaux, France, tutoring the children of wealthy families and learning the language and literature of the country. Wilfred Owen Owen was not horrified or elated by the outbreak of war, although during 1914, he became more aware of the human sacrifice involved and was filled with confusion. Eventually he returned to England and on 21 October 1915, enlisted in the Artists' Rifles. He spent the next seven and a half months training in Essex and on the 4 June was commissioned into the Manchester Regiment, where he underwent further training before crossing to France on 29 December. In the second week of January, one of the worst in memory, he led his platoon into the Battle of the Somme. he wrote to his mother every week and described what he had been through: "Those fifty hours were the agony of my happy life... I nearly broke down and let myself drown in the water that was now rising slowly above my knees. In the Platoon on my left, the sentries over the dug-out were blown to nothing".
